It was trendy for women over 55 to have short hair. After all, it was considered convenient to style and easy to maintain. However, many have now discovered that there are several hairstyles of different lengths that are easy to manage and look equally great. While bobs and pixie cuts are still in vogue as they beautifully frame a mature face, here are some other hairstyle ideas for women over 55: 1. Long hair with soft fringes Fringes or bangs are great for enhancing one’s face and hiding certain features that one might not want to bring attention to. That said, one might think that maintaining and styling bangs daily could be a hassle. But there is an easy way to embrace bangs. For those who don’t want to be entirely committed to bangs, a hairstyle that involves longer bangs parted at the center can work quite well. Sweep the fringes to either side and let them grow out. Over time, the bangs will seamlessly blend into the haircut. 2. Classic lob This one is also known as a long bob and is quite simple and easy to wear, with a no-nonsense maintenance routine. To style it, smooth out the front section and allow the back section to air dry naturally.
